HIS BEST GIRL.



A Love-Lstter winch 8s,nrpsd the vision
Of Those Who Read It.
He hurried up to tho office as soon as he
entered the hotel, says the Detroit Free
Press, and without waiting to register in
quired eagerly;
"Any letter for mes"
The clerk sorted out package with tho
negligent attention that comes OF practice,
then dipped one--a very small one--on the
counter.
The travelling man took 1t with curious
smile that twisted his pleasant-looking face
into mask OF expectancy.
He smiled more as be read ii. Then
oblivious of other travellers who jostled
him, he laid II tenderiy against his lips
AID actually kissed IT.
"A loud gusfaw startled him.
.sNow look here, old fellow" said loud
voice, "that won't do, you know. Too
spooney for any thing. Confess now, your
wife didn't write that letter?n
"No, she didn't said the travelling man
with an amazed look, as If he would like
to change the subject. THAT letter is
from my best girl"
The admission was so unexpected that
he trio of friends who had caught him
I'D no more until after they had eaten a
I'd dinner and were seated together in a
um's room.
Then they began TO badger him.
"It's no use, you've got to read it TO us,
Dick,n said one of them. 1--WE want to know
all about your best girl"
$50 you SHALL" said Dick with great
GOODNESS; II will give you the letter and
you can read it yourselves. There it ISL
and he laid it open on the table.
81 guess not" said the one who had been
loudest in demanding il, s'we like to chat
a little, but / hope we are gentlemen.
The young lady would hardly care tt
have her letter read by this crowd" and
he looked reproachfully at his friend.
"But insist upon it," was the answer,
''there is nothing in II to be ashamed Of
except the spelling; that is q little sEaky-
I'll admit. but she won't care in the least
Read it, Hardy, and judge for YOURSELF
Thus urged Hardy took up the letter
shamefacedly enough, and read it. There
were only few words. First be laughed
then swallowed suspiciously, and as BIZ
finished it, threw it on tho table again
and rubbed the back OF his hand across
his eyes, as If troubled with dimness Of
vision.
"Pshaw," he said, 1if had love letter
like that and then was silent.
''Fair play" cried one of the Others
with an uneasy laugh.
"I'll read it to you boys" said theii
friend, seeing they made no move to take
it, "and think you'll agree with me, thai
it's model love letter.
And this was what he read:
Mi owen deer Papa
I sa mi PRairs every mite amid Wen lsi'
yurc Pictshure ASK god TO blese you COCA b
Pa Pa yure Best gufl DOLLY.
For a moment or two the company re
manned silent, while the little letter wa
passed from hand to hand, and you woult
have said that each aud every one had hal
fever by the snufiling that was heard
Then Hardy jumped to his feet:

One OF the finest traits in the character
of the Emperor Of Germany is his remem-
brance of his old and tried servants. One
of them, an old man who has been for
years recipient of pension from the
Emperor's private treasury, lives near
Bromberg, West Russia. His daughters

ened with bankruptcy. There was SEEM
ingly no help. But the old man wrote to
the Emperor telling him the unfortunate
circumstances and begging for loan for
his on-in-law. The Emperor sent the
money to the latter, and said in his letter:
"For the children Of my faithful oil d serv-
ant have no loan. Take the money as a
present, and God may prosper it in your

The Jubilee Singers.

The name Jubilee Singers was origi-
mated by the company which is to APP
pear at Harper's theatre under the aus
spices of Buford Post, G. A R, tomor-
row night. During the company's alb
sence in Europe host of imitators and
counterfeils obtained circulation, giving
all SORTS OF travesties of the original
entertainment and even appropriating to
their own use articles written for and
about The original company. This fraud
is still carried on. and many are deceived
into patronizing such alleged entertain
men,s, with consequent disappointment
and distrust Of the name of Jubilee
Singers. Not only was the Jubilee
music first introduced to cultivated audi
ences by this company, but it is sung in
its purity by no other. and the elevation
of soul which it is capable of inspiring
has been produced by no other Indeed.
il is no idle boast to say that it Can be
produced by no other, for no other has
had the spiritual incentive and the per
feet training. Therefore, 'be not de-,
ceived"
